Hello all,
I need to understand what my options are if my solicitor disagrees with my self assessment of SDLT.
- I am married.
- We own a number of properties bought in 2006/2007 that are rented out.
- Our main residence is in my wife's name, we have lived there for about 2 years
- We are selling the main residence and purchasing a property to replace it and live in it.
As far as I understand it is clear that we are replacing main residence, our assets and ourselves are treated as one unit because we are married.We are not subject to the higher charge.
My solicitor got confused and referred me to the joint ownership section of the SDLT government website. He is now "reviewing" it again.
I'm concerned that he won't complete the transaction if he fundamentally has a different view. What are my options and how should I address it with him ?
Thanks in advance,
P
